This Roman Catholic community serves Otisville and surrounding rural communities in the northeast corner of the Diocese of Lansing. Its local story reaches back to priestly visits in 1893 and Masses at the Otisville Community Center beginning in 1947. The St. Margaret Mary mission was established in 1948; parishioners broke ground for a church on Easter Sunday 1949 and celebrated the first Mass there that September. The present church was dedicated in 1993. Today, service opportunities include a food pantry, BeFrienders, liturgical roles, music, social ministry, and parish councils, while faith formation includes youth ministry. That combination of a precise sacramental schedule, rural Catholic history, and practical care ministries gives prospective visitors a fuller picture than a basic directory entry.
